Chapter 117 Little Jade Rabbit
Ye Jingmo watched as Jiang Li and the other two walked to the canned food stall, and he was about to follow them.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the items on a stall.
It was a rabbit carved from mutton fat jade, its body white and lustrous, its movements lifelike as it held a carrot.
Very cute.
Ye Jingmo seemed to be thinking of something, and a faint smile appeared on his usually cold face, like snow melting in early spring.
He walked to the stall, picked up the rabbit, and slowly stroked it.
How much is this jade rabbit?
He asked the stall owner.
"2 points."
The stall owner was a middle-aged man who did not get up to greet Ye Jingmo when he arrived.
He thought that Ye Jingmo would put down what he was holding and turn away after hearing his offer.
If someone has a bad temper, they might curse him for this little thing, saying it's inedible and yet so expensive.
The middle-aged man's face was full of bitterness. If life weren't so difficult now, he wouldn't have taken out his treasured possessions to sell.
These would have been worth millions in the past.
But now it can't even buy a corn tortilla.
"I want it."
Upon hearing Ye Jingmo's answer, a look of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. Had he misheard?
Ye Jingmo transferred 2 points to the middle-aged man, stuffed the rabbit into his pocket, and turned to leave.
The stall owner next to him, seeing the middle-aged man get 2 points so quickly, said with some envy:
"This is a spoiled brat who bought this inedible stuff and didn't even try to bargain."
Old Yang, you're really lucky. If you had avoided a few people like that, you wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing.
The middle-aged man ignored his words and simply tidied up his stall in silence.
If you try to talk to this kind of person, they'll just get more and more carried away.
Jiang Li and the other two withdrew from the crowd, no longer listening to the discussions around them.
"Should we continue walking?"
Qin Yue asked Jiang Li.
The market lights resembled an undulating river, winding its way to the horizon.
Jiang Li looked at the stalls behind her and shook her head; she didn't need to buy anything.
"Never mind, I bought a lot of things today, I can come back another day."
Jiang Li subconsciously searched for Ye Jingmo's figure.
Wait, where's Brother Mo?
Noticing that Ye Jingmo was not by her side, Jiang Li immediately looked around for him.
Seeing Ye Jingmo walking towards her against the light, Jiang Li's eyelashes fluttered, and she quickly ran towards him.
"Brother Mo, where did you go? Why didn't you tell me?"
Sensing the displeasure in Jiang Li's voice, Ye Jingmo reached out and ruffled her hair.
"I saw an interesting little gadget, so I went over to take a look, but I forgot to tell you."
Upon seeing Ye Jingmo return, Qin Yu sent a message to the tricycle driver, asking him to come and pick them up.
I received a positive response shortly afterward.
Jiang Li went to the pottery stall and asked the stall owner to deliver the pottery jars to the entrance of the base.
The old man had already called his second son over and asked him to help deliver the pottery jars to the entrance of the base.
Jiang Li paid him the remaining balance of 1 point.
Ye Jingmo handed the blue badge he had received earlier to the staff at the door, then carried two ceramic jars out the door.
After waiting for a few minutes, the tricycle driver finally arrived.
"Sorry I'm a little late."
The driver apologized to Jiang Li and the other three, then tried to ingratiate himself by helping them load their belongings onto the tricycle.
"How many points did you spend to buy this ceramic pot?"
It shouldn't be too expensive.
The driver, riding his tricycle, started talking to Jiang Li.
"It's alright, not too expensive."
Sensing that Jiang Li and the others were unwilling to discuss this topic, the coachman immediately changed the subject.
"The market is very lively today. I heard they are selling canned food."
I was initially somewhat interested, but when I heard about the points involved, my heart died instantly.
Qin Yu listened and responded briefly, his tone full of sighs.
Who isn't?
"But this price is so high, I couldn't afford even a single can of food if I sold myself."
"No matter when, those who do manual labor are always at the bottom of society..."
This awful weather is killing us, it's unbearably hot!
The driver seemed to have found a close friend and started complaining to Qin Yu about the current situation.
They kept talking until they reached the gate of the villa area.
Having received the fare, the driver smiled and said:
"If you need a car anywhere in the future, just contact me anytime."
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo returned to the villa carrying the pottery jar.
Jiang Li had been thinking about the little gadget Ye Jingmo had mentioned, and once inside the house, she finally couldn't resist asking about it.
"Brother Mo, what little gadgets did you see at the stall?"
Ye Jingmo placed the earthenware jar in the corner of the dining table, where it wouldn't take up much space.
Hearing Jiang Li's question, Ye Jingmo stared at her with his deep black eyes and slowly spoke:
"very curious?"
Jiang Li nodded vigorously; of course she was curious.
"Don't tell you."
Hearing Ye Jingmo's teasing words, Jiang Li turned around and sat on the sofa, displeased, and stubbornly said:
"Hmph, whatever. If you don't want to tell me, then don't."
Seeing Jiang Li's sullen expression, Ye Jingmo sat down beside her and said gently:
"You'll find out soon enough, Lili, don't be angry with me."
Jiang Li pondered in her mind what special occasions had recently occurred.
She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer.
It seems not!
"I'm not angry at all, I'm just tired from walking around the market."
Jiang Li slowly began to speak.
"Okay, are you hungry?"
I'll make you dinner.
When dinner was mentioned, Jiang Li realized she was hungry.
Visiting the market is also an physically demanding activity; the apple pie we had in the afternoon was long gone.
Ye Jingmo walked into the kitchen; he was preparing to make a dish of scrambled eggs and beef tenderloin rice.
Crack the bright yellow eggs into a bowl, whisk them well, and then add a pinch of salt.
Cut the beef tenderloin into evenly thick slices, stir-fry it in a pan over high heat, and then pour it over steaming hot rice.
Heat a pan over low heat, pour in the egg mixture, and carefully rotate the pan with chopsticks from both sides to ensure even heating.
When the eggs are almost cooked, pour them into the rice; the residual heat will continue to heat them.
Jiang Li looked at the golden, tender eggs in the bowl and couldn't bear to pick them up with her chopsticks.
Break the egg with chopsticks, mix it with the soft rice, and put it in your mouth. It's smooth and has the aroma of egg.
Stir-fry the beef tenderloin over high heat until it's easy to chew, with no bits getting stuck in your teeth.
The simple dinner was eaten quickly, and Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo started clearing away the dishes together.
The moon casts a cold light on the earth at night, and a gentle breeze makes the autumn shadows of the branches sway.
The room was quiet, with only the steady breathing of a sleeper.
"Dingling bell~"
A pair of fair hands reached out from under the covers and turned off the alarm clock by the bed.
Jiang Li's hair fell in front of her like a female ghost. She slowly straightened up, her eyelids too heavy to open her eyes.
Very sleepy!
Why did she get up?
Jiang Li rubbed her face against the soft blanket, completely relaxing, and was about to fall asleep again.
Ye Jingmo walked out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Li bent over and lying on the quilt, preparing to fall asleep again in a difficult position.
He walked over helplessly. "Get up? Otherwise, all the heat suits will be gone soon."
Sold out?!
Jiang Li was startled and her head snapped up.
Her heat-protective suit!
Jiang Li glanced at her watch, breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest.
It's only 11 a.m., not yet time.
"Brother Mo! You scared me."
Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo with a sorrowful expression.
"Go wash up and have breakfast."
Ye Jingmo pulled up Jiang Li's blanket and folded it neatly for her without delay, urging her to go wash up quickly.
Jiang Li had no choice but to get up and go to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Today's breakfast consisted of beef pies and corn porridge.
The crispy crust is filled with beef seasoned with scallions. When you take a bite, the scalding hot juices flow into your mouth, so hot that your tongue goes numb, but you don't want to spit it out.
The corn porridge is cooked until it turns a thick, golden yellow color. When you pick up the bowl and drink it, your mouth is filled with the sweet aroma of corn.
Jiang Li smacked her lips twice, seemingly still wanting more.
Jiang Li didn't keep the news about the heat-resistant suit a secret.
She texted Qin Yue and Qin Yu, telling them that heat-resistant suits would be available at noon and asking them to see if they could manage to snag one.
Qin Yue and Qin Yu were very interested, but they didn't have enough points to buy protective suits.
They could only apologize to Jiang Li, feeling embarrassed for letting her down.
Hearing Qin Yue's dejected voice on the phone, Jiang Li offered a few words of comfort.
Heat-resistant clothing isn't a one-time offer; there will always be opportunities to purchase it.
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Li did nothing but sit on the sofa and wait for 12 o'clock to arrive.
As the last minute before the sale began, Jiang Li sat up straight, unable to contain her nervousness.
She was completely focused on the official online store, her fingers clicking in and out incessantly.
At this moment, time seems to stretch out, and a minute feels like a year.
As Jiang Li waited anxiously, the heat-resistant suits finally went on sale.
Without hesitation, she clicked on the link and immediately made the purchase without even checking the points amount.
However, perhaps due to too many people crowding into the mall, the internet speed became very slow.
As the page kept spinning, Jiang Li unconsciously clenched her right hand.
Please make sure the payment goes through successfully!
After a few seconds, the page redirected.
Seeing the heat-resistant suit successfully paid for, Jiang Li jumped up with joy. She almost wanted to dance on the spot to express her happiness.
However, she didn't forget Ye Jingmo, and turned to ask:
"Brother Mo, did you manage to snag one?"
The official online store for heat protection clothing limits purchases to one set per account.
We must do our utmost to prevent reselling from occurring.
Ye Jingmo gave Jiang Li an OK sign; he had also bought a heat-resistant suit.
After the initial excitement subsided, Jiang Li looked down at her watch and saw only a few points remaining, then sighed silently.
This time it's a huge loss.
Each heat protection suit costs 500 points, and they bought two at once, spending 1000 points in total.
Fortunately, the cabbages she planted were almost ripe, and selling them would allow her to recoup some of her losses.
Jiang Li's hand rested on the edge of the sofa. When she raised her hand, she noticed that it was covered with obvious hair.
Tiny fluffy hairs also float in the air.
Jiang Li felt an itch in her nose and immediately sneezed.
This startled Jelly, who was sprawled on another sofa. She turned to look at Jiang Li, and only after realizing that nothing was wrong did she continue to lie there lazily.
Jiang Li stood up and looked at the thin layer of fuzz on the sofa. She picked it up with her hand.
"Jelly, why are you shedding so much? It feels like snow is falling in the house."
Jiang Li took the evidence to Guodong and righteously accused it.
Jelly gave Jiang Li a strange look, then got up, jumped off the sofa, and went to lie down in her own little nest.
Jiang Li watched Guo Dong's back, which showed no sign of lingering, while her raised hand remained suspended in mid-air.
Pudding approached Jiang Li, its tail swishing behind it.
"It's okay, Pudding is so nice, she doesn't... shed!"
Jiang Li stopped talking abruptly when she saw a tuft of hair on her hand as she stroked Pudding's fur.
She didn't understand why the two little ones were shedding so much fur today.
"Ugh."
Jiang Li sighed and took out a vacuum cleaner from her spatial storage.
What could she do about the hair that was scattered like dandelion seeds inside the room?
There's nothing I can do but resign myself to cleaning it up.
This is the hardship of owning a pet.
Jiang Li turned on the vacuum cleaner to remove the hair from the sofa.
Ye Jingmo picked up a broom and swept up the fallen hair on the ground.
It took the two of them an hour to clean the entire first floor.
But that's not all.
To solve the problem of shedding at its source, you need to brush the two boys' fur.
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo each held a comb in their hands.
"Pudding, come here."
Ye Jingmo called out Pudding's name.
When Pudding saw the comb, she walked up to Ye Jingmo on her own and obediently lay down on the ground.
It had been groomed before and was already very familiar with these procedures.
However, things are not going very well with the jelly.
It resisted the feeling of the comb on its body and desperately tried to break free from Jiang Li's embrace.
This is how to do?
Jiang Li grabbed the jelly's front paws with both hands and fixed it to her legs.
But then she wouldn't have a hand to hold the comb and brush the jelly's fur.
Suddenly, Jiang Li thought of a good idea.
She took out a red stocking with a Christmas tree pattern from her spatial storage.
Then it was quickly put on the jelly's head.
At first glance, it looks like a gift from Santa Claus at Christmas.
With its eyes covered, Jelly grabbed the sock with its front paws, trying to tear it off, and made a soft meow.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jiang Li quickly combed the fur off the jelly.
After brushing the hair off her belly, Jelly also pulled off her socks.
meow~
What is that? How dare it block my view? Watch out for my punches!
Jelly's paws punched the sock twice with force.
Pudding also came over to join in the fun, happily using her mouth to hold the sock and play with the jelly.
Jiang Li gathered the fluffy hairs of the jelly and pudding with her hands; they were so fluffy they were about the size of two basketballs.
If a person loses hair like this, they should be bald by now, right?
Jiang Li imagined bald jelly and pudding in her mind, and quickly shook her head in disgust.
No, a hairy head can never be bald.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you shaking your head like that?"
Ye Jingmo couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Jiang Li's series of actions, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Jiang Li certainly couldn't tell anyone; she was thinking about the bald personas of Jelly and Pudding.
"I'm wondering how to deal with these hairs?"
Should we keep them and make them into a plush toy or something?
Ye Jingmo, thinking of Jiang Li's needlework, tried to dissuade her:
"Don't make things difficult for yourself; making plush toys isn't for you."
Jiang Li thought of the disastrous failures she had made in the past, and those memories were too painful to recall. It was better to be obedient.
What are some simple handicrafts to make?
As Jiang Li pondered this in her mind, she saw Pudding tearing apart its doghouse.
She had an idea: why not collect all this fur and make a mat for the two of them?
It will be useful in winter too.
After Jiang Li shared this idea with Ye Jingmo, he gave it his full support.
However, the fur from one brushing session is definitely not enough. After collecting it several times, you can make a mat for them.
